Series Summary:

“I just can’t let it go.” “They don’t deserve to be forgiven.” “It hurts too much to move on.” Maybe you’ve heard your students say something like this in the midst of pain, frustration and anger towards someone who has hurt them—or maybe you’ve said or thought something similar yourself. Choosing to forgive someone who has hurt us is never easy. So why does it matter so much that we do it? How do we know when we should do it? And how do we know we have actually healed from the pain an offense has caused? How do we simply let it go?

Recap of Action Point:

Have you experienced recent conflict with your son or daughter? If so, the action point for Let it Go is pretty straightforward: Apologize to your teenager. Chances are, regardless of who was in the right, there was collateral damage and an opportunity for reconciliation on both sides. So be the parent, take some time to think through what a meaningful apology might look like for your son or daughter. And then, go say the words that make all the difference in the world—I’m sorry.
